The Portland Trail Blazers bench is having a fine start to the 2018-19 season. Once a weakness across the board, Portland reserves have shown signs of life and given their teammates a much-needed boost on the way to a 10-5 start.
Andy Bailey of sister site SLC Dunk took a look at the best and worst court pairings for all 30 NBA teams and found that the Blazers sported bench players on each end of the spectrum. Witness:
Best Duo: The TRAIL BLAZERS are +22.5 points per 100 possessions when Evan Turner and Jusuf Nurkic are on the floor.
